his national security adviser susan rice is here with him on martha's vineyard. he's getting briefed regularly on a whole host of topics. including, you would have to assume, the ongoing debate about his government surveillance programs. as you point out, republicans -- they really went after the president, arguing that he hasn't done a good job of explaining the program. that is why there are these problems really getting the public on board, and will worry that ultimately it is sort of draining and limiting his ability and the government's ability to fight terrorism. so that is what republicans have been saying. democrats, he's getting some criticism from them as well. some democrats essentially saying that they still have concerns about privacy rights. these are concerns we are seeing play out sort of nationally and in the public discourse according to our latest nbc news "wall street journal" poll. 56% of americans still have concerns that these programs could limit privacy rights. so the president to some extent has a pr problem when it comes to this issue.
